The dining room is also carpeted, has track lighting and is visually open to the kitchen via a large “pass through” counter area. The kitchen is open and bright and has hardwood flooring, track lighting, convenient access to the dining room, a large modern window overlooking the rear garden, a transom window and a walk-out to the rear deck area.

The second floor has three bedrooms or two bedrooms and a home office if that better suites your needs. All three bedrooms are fully carpeted, have modern windows and good sized closets. There is a four-piece bathroom with vinyl flooring, large medicine cabinet, ceramic tub and shower surround, additional linen storage area and a south facing window overlooking the rear garden.

The master bedroom is on the third floor and offers a very private and visually pleasing personal space. It is fully carpeted and has a large double closet and a very large attic storage area. There is a knotty pine ceiling, three-piece ensuite, ceiling fan, an east window and a long high transom window facing the street. A fantastic set of three large south facing windows that overlook the deep rear yard offer a wonderful panoramic, bird’s eye view over the immediate neighbourhood.

The south facing rear deck and garden area is quite large and open to the sun almost the entire day. It offers a rear deck with natural gas BBQ hook-up, professional landscaping with terraced flower beds, brick walkways and a large storage shed with a sheltered patio well suited for a little relaxing reading or alfresco dining. All this and there is still room at the back for a children’s play area or swing set. It’s a wonderful deep yard and offers the opportunity to expand the footprint of the house should you be so inclined.

Brilliantly situated in this valued "Old Toronto" neighbourhood, this home speaks directly to the “location, location, location” law of real estate. It affords ideal proximity to parks, playgrounds, public transit, great shopping, fine dining, superior public schools and top rated private schools such as Crescent School and the Toronto French School.
